The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

My Rating: 1.0


Nora finds herself faced with this decision. Faced with the possibility of changing her life for a new one, following a different career, undoing old breakups, realizing her dreams of becoming a glaciologist; she must search within herself as she travels through the Midnight Library to decide what is truly fulfilling in life, and what makes it worth living in the first place.


Not only was this depressing but it was boring. I am so disappointed with myself that I continued with this till the end as it was as complete waste of time. With her different lives I at least expected something entertaining but it went from bad to worse. The message of don't live with regrets and that life is worth living and your outlook changes everything...so profound....NOT! Also, to say that clinical depression is a result of someone's life choices is very misinformed. I know I am in the minority with this review but, I felt this was horrible and mundane. My only 'regret' is that I don't get the time wasted on this book back in my life!
